FCC Text-to-911 PSAP Registry Released

The FCC text-to-911 registry of public safety answering points ready to accept emergency texts is available for inspection on the agency’s Web page, the Public Safety Bureau said in a public notice Monday. The registry provides an effective readiness date for those PSAPs that can accept texts to 911, the bureau said. The bureau reminded covered text providers that “they should periodically review the text-readiness of PSAPs in their service areas and reach out to these PSAPs as necessary to coordinate implementation of text-to-911 service.”
